Hello, cryptic!

Not so long ago, my younger brother and I had an interesting conversation.

See, I was telling him about a friend of mine who's been going through some rough times due to a break-up with her boyfriend. Apparently, the guy's been whining and backtalking and generally ruining her to some of their common contacts and, I think, to complete strangers as well.

I asked my brother whether this is something that all guys do. He told me that apparently, at least in his age group, only gamer boyfriends do it. To quote, in his terms:

"I dunno why, but they're the only ones insecure enough to do it. Guys who aren't geeks will gripe and get angry but they're confident enough in themselves to not blame someone else."

Interesting, too, because I thought about it, and hey, the pattern fits.

Just so you know, asshole, yes, I'm talking about you.

Can you get any more gay?

I was almost inclined to like you. I thought that maybe, you could grow up and change.

Sucks to find out that I guess you weren't capable of it.

I make it a habit not to step in like this for friends because I respect them unlike you, but this was the last straw.
